Don't see the issue here, physical abuse has been banned from schools since the 80's.

A teacher going crazy and assaulting a student may kill them or leave them with life long injuries


If you are a student and you see a teacher clearly assaulting a student, get a few to video it.

There's ~ 30 of ye, stop the assault asap and put that teacher on the ground

( this is very important - they may attack again and kill someone )

Then upload the videos to email or somewhere safe over 4g NOT school wifi

Then go get the principal


This is better than seeing your classmate in a few months wondering what day it is while walking up the road with a fulltime carer

It's not hard work it out, the individual carrying out the abuse.

spurious

Is it the same person in both cases?
Or just the same school?

Have you seen the second post?


You can't have teachers forcibly laying hands on pupils and yet, students are clearly out of control at times. What to do. It's a hard circle to square, and again teaching is a very tough job, and getting tougher. Why you'd become one is beyond me.

Irrelevant, you cannot lay a hand on a pupil it has been outlawed for years.

It's not irrelevant to point out that there are feral children, capable of hospitalising teachers. No point ignoring that either. Have you a solution? You do realise not being able to control a disruptive student badly affects the other kids too. Thoughts for them?

“Steven did assault the teacher and hurt him but he wasn’t disruptive in class.”

Ok then. Son's an angel.

True. Students today aged circa 14 could damage a lot of teachers quite badly if they wanted to. I don't know how teachers keep discipline - i'd imagine it is getting more and more difficult in secondary school.

Yeah, I was going to write that as a preemptive response in my own post, but decided against as it wasn't in keeping with the tone.



Still wouldn't be a teacher. :pac:

They work approx 183 days. The rest of us work 231 days at most (9 public holidays and 20 statutory holidays - a lot of us have more than stat) - so 48 extra days holidays. But, for that they pretty much have to forgo any holidays during the 9 months or so of term.

This kind of thing happened daily when I was in National School in the 80s and early 90s. Didn’t think much of it at the time, but in retrospect it was very wrong. It was also illegal, even at that time.

Have no intention of doing so, but wonder could people sue now, after so much time has passed? A lot of people make jokes about it and weren’t traumatised by it, bit others definitely were.

Be no harm in asking - maybe email the solicitor mentioned in the OP ?

It is totally irrelevant as it is illegal to assualt a pupil. If a teacher is attacked the solution is AGS.
As for the 'feral' student exclusion.

That's far harder now.



You do know you can be critical of both, it's not an either/or.

Wouldn't do myself either, it's a vocation. No excuse for assaulting kids though.

I'm actually failing to see what point you are trying to make. In plain terms physical chastisement is illegal in the school. Any physical assualt on a teacher is a matter for AGS. It's really not hard to understand.

I know some lads from my youth who could well be due some significant money. Both Primary and Secondary school (90's). Now they were all little bo11oxes but a little grab of the ear is nothing in comparison.

Now class, take out our your readers, I need to spend one-to-one time with Plumbthedepths...


You made the above comment when there were two articles above your post where wtf picked up on it asking, in an AH kind of way, which one?



You replied saying the teacher, I'm pointing out that there were two abhorrent actions, one by a teacher and the other by a student.



Okay, can we return to the full class now?

If you want to respond in such a manner don't expect me to engage with your behaviour any further.

Yes.
The teacher should be sanctioned.
But wtf does the kid get 17.5k for having his ear pulled and an arm put against his chest? . It's a totally disproportionate pay out, imo.
Also, bare in mind that the teacher won't have to pay this money, the school will.

Wtf ?

Load of B---ix. I'm unsubbing this now
